Postcard Exchange Part 1

A month and a half ago my daughter and I signed up for a postcard exchange with a friend of mine that you can find here http://musingsonrealities.blogspot.ca/2012/07/journeys-await.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter .

One of my favorites that I received…..

This one I couldn’t send…it’s already taken…by me:D

Another one that I simply grew too attached to…sigh!

My favorite of the ones my daughter made.

And another…these are supposed to be ferns.

This one was a picture from my wedding last year. I cut my husband and I out and then drew us in.

Caw, Caw! As my son would say.

One of three “found poems” that I made.

I sent this one out but very reluctantly. There is something about it that is so peaceful and contemplative.

Postcards are a great way to say hello, but at the same time they can be so personalized. Getting something tangible in the mail is great. These postcards are lovely expressions of art.

So much fun! I love the layers of interest that can be created with collage. I understand why you couldn’t part with “already taken” – it’s lovely. What fun people are going to have when they receive what you’ve sent – hooray!

The joy of sharing art. The surprise of what shows up in your mail box. The feeling you get when you send one off. These are wonderful pieces! I posted a similar request for Altered Books, I don’t think people understood my idea.

I thought you might like this too. I am in post crossing which is a worldwide postcard exchange. It’s great fun to receive cards from all over the world- you send one and get one in return. Check it out.http://www.postcrossing.com/
